Nc1rs and Courier.

GREENvILLE, September l5.-The authori
ties of the PciZcr Manufacturing Company
whose big cotton mill Is located at PclZer, siX
teen miles below here, are SO modest and reti
cent concerning the affairs OF the mill thai
very little of what goes on in that thriving
manufacturing town ever gets to the ears o
the public. 1t Is due to the company's settled
policy OF effective work and little talk tha
work has actually been begun on q pig new
mill at Pezer WITHOUT any report of the fac'
reaching outSiders.
The contract for the new factory, which vii
be Il combination of the present mill building
nearly doubling the total length, has been lei
to Capt. w. ID. Goodwin, OF this city. Capt
Goodwin has a contract also for new cottor
warehouse of 5000 bales capacity, the two to
gether making one Of the largest contracts
ever awarded in this section. The addition
of mill number TWO will make the PclZer Mil
one OF the largest in hlc whole South. Whcr
the new mill is completed PclZer will have IN
use 36, 200 spindIcS and leo looms, employing
959 operatives and consuming every year eigh
teen thousand bales OF cotton. The mill is al
ready the largest In this section, employing a
present over GO0 operatives Capt. +. a. Smytl
i its president, and the mill Is owned alIEos
entirely by Charleston men,. 1t is understood
that the capital will shortly be increased from
S.00, ,Gp0 to 5000 00O.

OF Samuel e. CaSOn, Esq, died at home III thls

The Cotton Market.

We are reliably Informed that Ahbcville
has as good rates for the shipment OF cotton
as any town In the up-country, and We have
Messrs Lucas and Hicks, who are here with
plenty of money TO buy all the cotton that
comes to the market, and TO pay good
prices for it, The plan of paying more for
some bales and less for other bales of the
same quality will not have the desired eHrct'
Abbevlle Is entitled to her share of the cot
ton and we believe it to be ~ the interest OF
cotton sellers to bring to this place all that
would naturally come here.
The cotton gins at the different marker
towns are of great benefit to the liener who
expects 10 sell seed and cotton. y wagon
viii carry n bale OF cotton in the seed. The
seed can be sold at the gin without the
trouble or expense of handling or hauling
The bagging Is convenient, and the charges
are low-and low charges are consideration
with most of us.
Cotton that is ginned promptly after pick.
ing turns out better in weight than 1t does al,
ter 1t has been kept for weeks, When 1t Is
possible cotton should be loaded in the fe!d
and carried 10 the gin without being put III
the cotton house.

1t is Worked Again on an Unsophis-
ticated German.
A German labOrer named Abraham Mar
taus was the victim of confidence man yes
terday afternoon, and his experience has cost
him $50 of his hard earnings. Martaus had
Just come to the city from Petersburg, Boone
county, and was looking for work. AT the
ST. Paul depot he was met by a heavy-set
man with black whiskers who pretended to
be a rich cattleman from Norfolk. After a
pleasant acquaintance of about fifteen min
utes, the stranger told Martaus that he wished
TO transact some important business uptown,
aud if he would let him have some money ne
would stop at bank on his return and re-
turn the money to him. The unsophisticated
German lot him have $50, every cent he had
on earth, and the stranger gave as security
check for 1900 on the st. Paul savings
bank, payable to w. II. Swift & Co., and
81 gned by J. b. Hammond The stranger
promised to return in half an hour, but after
waiting for him in vain for four or five hours,
it began to dawn on the Germans mind that
he had been yictimlzed, and the paper he
held for security was worthless. He hunted
up the police and told his story, but there has
not yet been found any clue to the swindler.
